Mystik Journeymen Lyrics

Damn! y'all fools conceited reaction to the title
Wow! You guys have an arrogant response to the fame and reputation

Heard the first time but quickly changed your mind
You initially heard about me, but then quickly changed your opinion

Once the performance is completed seated in the back
After my performance, you sit in the back, not fully engaging

Too cool to throw yo' hands up; I never quite understood
You're too cool to raise your hands in enjoyment, and I don't get it

Alla that what you too tough to have fun?
Are you too tough to have fun?

Frisked at the door so I know it ain't the gun
You were searched at the entrance, so I know you don't have a weapon

In your waistline that got you shootin daggers in my face
You're glaring at me with hostility, as if you have some hidden anger

When I rhyme - times done changed and it's strange
Times have changed since I started rhyming, and it's strange

Got motherfuckers ain't smiled at a rap show in a while
People haven't smiled at a rap show in a long time

Probably since the Fresh Prince was in style
Probably since the Fresh Prince was popular

So it's apparent that you just don't understand
It's clear that you simply don't understand

The meanest mug in the club, don't make yo' ass the man
Being the toughest-looking person in the club doesn't make you the man

Now if you want to be a fan then that's fine
If you want to be a fan, that's okay

But all I really want to do is just break through to your mind
But what I really want is to make an impact on your thoughts

And show you just because you did some hood time
And show you that just because you've been through tough experiences

Don't make it impossible to have a good time when you out
Doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself when you go out

See where I'm from, it's the hardest motherfuckers come to party
Where I come from, the toughest people come to have a good time

All shermed out, so what's this really all about?
High on PCP, so what is this aggression really about?

You gelled, cause this man's double L, well hell
You're intimidated, because this man is a double L (Living Legend)

PSC tells me, it's jealousy that grips the heart
PSC tells me that jealousy is what's causing the hostility

Quit wasting playing hard roles, when yo' ass is
Stop pretending to be tough when you're not

Really just a mark and I should NEVER feel threatened
You're actually just a target and I should never feel threatened

Cause you see that man behind me?
Because you see the talented man behind me?

MURS.. U.. R.. S..
Referring to the artist Murs

When night falls I enter; being of a higher breed
When night falls, I come in as a superior type of rapper

Of emcee I'll injure all these would-be rap crews
I will defeat and surpass all these aspiring rap groups

The wannabe fat fools, coulda been rap dudes
The untalented and pretentious individuals who could have been good rappers

Refuse 'em resist 'em like Prop 187 do Mexicans
Reject and resist them like the controversial Prop 187 does to Mexicans

Again and again, it's the Legends
Again and again, it's the Living Legends

Lucky am I on wax, and on everyone's tape
I'm fortunate to have my music on vinyl and on everyone's mixtapes

PSC the best friend of chorus
PSC is the best friend of the chorus in our songs

The poorest excuse for you, to quit your boyfriend
The worst excuse for you to leave your boyfriend

Just give him a chance (baby baby gimme one more chance)
Just give him another chance, baby, please

He'll rap right, if not, check my mic all night
He'll rap properly, and if not, I'll check my microphone all night

I rap tight, see me catching flights
I rap skillfully, see me traveling on flights

At the international terminal, where you don't go
At the international terminal, a place you don't commonly visit

So don't go and diss, big groups, will get ripped
So don't go and disrespect, because large musical collectives will get destroyed

And tripped by mic cords, and choked, with cordless
They'll be tripped by microphone cables and choked by cordless ones

A gift, of smooth talk, walk the walk of a winner
A talent for smooth talking, walking confidently like a winner

Far from a beginner, guess who's for dinner?
Far from being a beginner, guess who's about to be defeated?

Cerebral tornadoes rip logic like frolicking paperbacks
Mental whirlwinds tear apart logical thinking like playful paperback books

The tone is incomplete extension, in all of the later tracks
The style is an unfinished extension in all of the subsequent songs

Extracting vitamins, from machinery that creates it
Extracting valuable elements from the technology that produces it

As long as the people are fiending for the truth
As long as people crave the truth

And not counterfeit, I'm the bounty sheriff merit holder
And not a fake, I'm the holder of the bounty as a deserving sheriff

Winner of awards in the midst, of clashing swords
Victorious in award ceremonies while facing intense competition

It's match point on the court, a point is scored
It's the final point in a tennis match, and I score it

Referee the rest will see my yellow warning on the toilet seat
The rest will witness my warning sign (the color yellow) on the toilet seat

At least I have my dignity, infinity, a legendary entity forever
I may have lost, but I still have my dignity and shall remain a legendary presence forever

A legendary flame of a character with no name
An iconic, nameless character who possesses a legendary flame

Same instance, persistence to have latitudes
In the same situation, persisting to have freedom and flexibility

Bruise your knees, you will lose
If you kneel down in submission, you will lose

A life or limb, whichever you choose
Either your life or a body part, depending on your decision

Find some foe in him, words tend to catch a phrase
Consider him as an enemy, because his words tend to create catchy phrases

That will amaze most from the gazing point, with a judgment standard
That will astound most people from the perspective of observing, using a standard of judgment

Categorized into a tainted picture before it gets a chance to be painted
Labeled as something negative before it has even had the opportunity to be fully realized

There's no blanket for the truth (I can't see!)
Truth doesn't have one universal interpretation (I can't understand it!)

I got a loose end of a lie, this amateur he tried to get by
I have discovered a small part of a lie, this inexperienced person tried to deceive

The size is more greater, and equator more immense
The magnitude is even larger, and the significance is greater

Since it makes more sense to make some sense, or maybe you know
Because it's more logical to be coherent, or perhaps you already know

Out of these weak ass rhymes you roam but you stay in flow
You wander through these weak rhymes, but you remain in your rhythm

In this dense a body of mockery
In this context of ridicule and mockery

Black lightning lighting up the sky, fighting the type
Powerful force of black lightning illuminating the sky, battling against a certain kind of person

Copywriting history - writing transistory
Preserving the rights to history - writing that is temporary

Bay lines for your mind every time we enter the stage
Providing thought-provoking lyrics every time we step onstage

We split and fade, most, Sunspot Jonz, toast
We separate and disappear, while Sunspot Jonz delivers a memorable performance

Goodbye to crust emcees; often lonely and homely
Farewell to mediocre rappers who are often lonely and unattractive

If you could only capture the power of love
If only you could grasp the strength of love

Like ten albums in this glove, R.B.I.
Like having ten albums within reach, getting runs batted in (R.B.I)

While you hittin pop flies.. and sacrifice your life
While you're only hitting weak fly balls and sacrificing your potential

And die in hurricane and methane
And perish in a disastrous storm and toxic gases

We below shit like propane, Living Legends spiritual cocaine
We are superior like propane, the Living Legends are a highly addictive and influential force

In a line if you know
In a queue if you understand

What's up with the times cause we straw the line
What's happening with the current era, because we draw the line

(We straw the line)
(We establish boundaries)

Let's get literal it's me and my team, I got a dream
Let's get serious, it's me and my team, I have a vision

And a clean way to achieve it
And a clear path to accomplish it

I conceived it myself, with a little bit of help, from my friends
I came up with it on my own, with some assistance from my friends

Made amends with my soul, now I'm ready to begin
I reconciled with my inner self, and now I'm prepared to start

First ingredient is dope shit, and fool we already wrote it
The main element is excellent material, and fool, we've already created it

Mix up with the motives now we're forming perfect batter
Combine it with the intentions, and now we're creating a flawless mixture

Had a vision it would burn, if I measured too precisely
I had a vision that it would fail if I approached it too cautiously

I add a pinch here and, there if the spice be right
I add a small amount here and there, if the flavor is just right

We might prepare this feast for many thousands
We might present this abundance for a large audience

So eat when you're aroused and enjoy - Legendary bitch!
So indulge when you're excited and enjoy - this is legendary, bitch!
